Dear Parents,

we have done so many things this past month of November!! We get ready to receive December full of energy and ready to learn new things. Remember that on Thursday December 7th we have a regular school day and on Friday December 8th it is a holiday no school. In Math our Tigers will be busy solving student- posed story problems, we will solve as many as we can. In Reading our 2nd graders will have their own reading emergency kits ready, they will use writing to help you sort out those confusing parts and keep track of the story. They will also get a chance to self-assess and set goals. In Content we will see and discuss how do we modify our environment over time. In Phonics students will learn how to make plural with s or es. Next week we will have Spirit Week, please check what's for each day!
